Just a small post to relay some random fun and silly stories.
Yesterday I went on a morning walk with my friend Holly. As we went outside I patted my pockets looking for my sunglasses. Holly told me they were on top of my head. We both laughed. Fast forward a half hour to when we returned. I told her I thought she was awesome and I should know because I'm smart. Her response: "You couldn't even find your sunglasses. How smart can you be?"
Touche. You won this round! Seriously, how can you argue with that? I still think she's pretty great though.
One time a couple of years ago Lyle, the kids and I were in the car on our way to get frozen yogurt. As we parked the car and got out Taylor was lagging a little behind. I asked him to hurry up. Annie had heard a new word recently and decided to try it out right then. "Yeah, coagulate Taylor!" Lyle and I just stopped and looked at her and started laughing. Annie's really good at laughing at herself and she wasn't offended. I asked her if she knew what the word 'coagulate' meant and I told her it's meaning. I still have no idea where she heard it and why she thought that word meant 'hurry up'. It's something we still tease her about today.
My most embarrassing moment was in the 12th grade. I was on the Dance Company and we were practicing after school one day for the Make A Wish Foundation concert we were doing the following night. There had to be 50-60 people there. At this particular moment people were just milling around talking and mingling. It was pretty loud. I decided to practice my pirouettes...and pirouetted right off the stage onto the lowered orchestra pit which got an up close and personal meeting with my face. The entire auditorium went silent as soon as I hit and I tried to play it off like everything was okay. SO embarrassing! I was SO lucky. I didn't split my chin open or crack a bone or break my nose or anything. I did however have a black bruise on my chin for about a month and at the end of the year the girls on the dance team gave me an action figure with a parachute for my end of the year gift. Haha. Very Funny! No really!
When we are in the car we sometimes play I spy with the kids. One day it was Taylor's turn and he said, "I spy with my eye, something that starts with a C." We guessed and guessed. And got them all wrong. Finally when we gave up he told us that he had chosen "Kennecot Copper Mine". Lyle and I started laughing as we told him it started with a K not a C. He laughed along with us. Then it was Lyle's turn and he picked something that started with an S. Annie thought it would be funny to guess "Sennesot Sopper Sine." It was. We laughed pretty hard. Even Tayor, though I think he was a bit embarrassed.
Last week I went for a walk with Holly (I know another walk story, I must be extra embarrassing around her or something) and in coming back from our walk we stood talking by the door. I wasn't looking when Holly pushed the handicapped button which makes the door open automatically. It came about an inch from my face before I realized it was there. I did avert the door/face disaster, but just barely. I laughed so hard!
Good times.
What do you laugh about?
